I like the chickadee's focus on the seed (I've been known to concentrate on lunch myself, so I fully understand) as it makes the picture about the bird in a way that some photos don't.Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824283256883254008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270172356859647879.post-22001674314301417602008-02-11T10:11:00.000-07:002008-02-11T10:11:00.000-07:00Great image.

I like the way the dark wings contrast with the bright background and, like others have said, the great way the twigs frame and mimic the shape of the wings.Howard Grillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734927360682514496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270172356859647879.post-9064610556383173672008-02-10T13:13:00.000-07:002008-02-10T13:13:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comments, April and Mark.

I was attempting to get some wing spread images of my local black-capped chickadees, but resulted in nothing but blurs.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324591166838241161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270172356859647879.post-57025472580397720362008-02-09T13:58:00.000-07:002008-02-09T13:58:00.000-07:00Very interesting and unusual photo of the little c...Very interesting and unusual photo of the little chickadee.

I liked the wings in this image, too, and the way the twigs frame the bird. <BR/><BR/>Tracy, it's been cold and very windy, snow often but not huge amounts, the snow on the ground is blowing and drifting.
